Alarm in Brandenburg: Over 10,000 ducks killed because of bird flu!
A new outbreak of bird flu is causing great concern in Brandenburg. Today, November 3, 2025, a spokeswoman for the district administration announced that around 10,200 Peking ducks were killed in Letschin, Märkisch-Oderland. This represents the eleventh outbreak of avian influenza in Brandenburg this autumn.
The situation is getting worse as more than 165,000 geese, ducks and turkeys have already lost their lives in the region due to the highly contagious animal disease. The Märkisch-Oderland district has been particularly hard hit, as it is in a critical situation in the fight against avian influenza. Fortunately, a suspected case involving a poultry farmer in Neuhardenberg could not be confirmed; The animal losses there turned out to be the result of a change in feed.
Current developments highlight the challenges facing poultry farmers in the region. The constant threat of bird flu outbreaks is forcing farmers to take rigorous safety measures to protect their crops. The fear that the disease will spread further is leading to tense conditions in agriculture.
Impact on agriculture
The constant threat of avian influenza also has economic consequences. Not only do the sick animals have to be killed for epidemiological reasons, but farmers also face enormous financial pressure. Many of them are very worried about how they will survive the coming months while trying to protect their businesses.
Another aspect that is causing confusion these days is technology in companies. In the context of the workplace, the update to the SmartSheet homepage has made it more difficult for many users to log in. In particular, the “Your Company Account” login option, which enables the use of Single Sign-On (SSO), is apparently no longer displayed as usual. You now have to follow a few steps to log in, which leads to confusion for many. Users are encouraged to submit tickets to request a return to the old login option layout. This shows that the digital area also has its challenges.
In addition, Microsoft Office users will be confronted with various technical innovations on November 3, 2025. The build data and numerous new features have been made available in production, which promises real technical progress for users. But here too, consent to cookies is important in order to be able to use the new features. The availability of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app ensures that both private and business customers benefit from the latest developments.
In conclusion, both agriculture and the digital world face challenges. Whether with bird flu or technical innovations - good planning and open communication are the be-all and end-all in dealing with these developments.
